More than 6 million people in the Philippines have been hit by water shortages in capital Manila and nearby Rizal province. Water supply has been cut off for at least six hours each day, and authorities have appealed to hospital patients to limit visitors to reduce water use. Many water-dependent businesses have also closed temporarily.
Water supplier Manila Water said water levels in dams has fallen due to the El Niño effect, while the government has been blamed for decades-long delays to new dam construction projects.
The nation’s Congress will meet this week to look into the water crisis, as shortages are expected to last until the rainy season in May or June.

Thailand will request that Hong Kong extradite former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is attending his daughter’s wedding in Hong Kong on March 22. Accompanying him is his sister, Yingluck Shinawatra – also a former prime minister. Both are in self-imposed exile after being deposed by the military. This request would be unprecedented. Thailand and Hong Kong do not currently have an extradition treaty.

Precambrian history

About a billion years ago (Late Proterozoic), the supercontinent, Rodinia formed. South China was part of the supercontinent. South China was bordered by Mirovia Ocean to the north, Siberia to the east, Australia to the west, and Laurentia to the south as shown here in the Rodinia paleogeography. 750 million years ago, Rodinia rifted and South China became an isolated continent.

A hundred million years later, these fragmented pieces of continent assembled back together to create the supercontinent of Pannotia. South China collided with North China and Eastern Gondwana (mainly Australia).

China Post

China Post, full name China Post Group Corporation, is the state-owned enterprise operating the official postal service of China. The Corporation officially shares its office with the sub-ministry-level government agency State Post Bureau which regulates the national postal industry theoretically including the Corporation.

History

The postal service in China can be dated back to the Shang Dynasty. The Customs Post Office of the Qing Empire was established in 1878 by Robert Hart at the suggestion of the foreign powers, with branch offices in five major trading cities. On 20 March 1896, the Customs Post Office became the Great Qing Post, which in 1911 became independent of the customs service. The Great Qing Post became the Chunghwa Post in 1912. Chunghwa postal service had signed a contract with the China Airways Federal group in 1929 to transport airmail on the Shanghai-Hankow, Nanjing-Beijing, and Hankow-Guangzhou routes. Chunghwa Post had functioned as the main postal service provider of Mainland China until 1949.

The term is deliberately ambiguous. To the PRC "Chinese Taipei" is ambiguous about the political status or sovereignty of the ROC/Taiwan; to the ROC it is a more inclusive term than just "Taiwan" (which is to the ROC just one part of China, which it, similarly to the PRC, claims to be the rightful government of the nation in its entirety, and to the PRC the use of "Taiwan" as a national name is associated with independence of the area from the PRC) and "Taiwan China" might be construed as a subordinate area to the PRC.

Precambrian history

About a billion years ago (Late Proterozoic), the supercontinent, Rodinia formed. South China was part of the supercontinent. South China was bordered by Mirovia Ocean to the north, Siberia to the east, Australia to the west, and Laurentia to the south as shown here in the Rodinia paleogeography. 750 million years ago, Rodinia rifted and South China became an isolated continent.

A hundred million years later, these fragmented pieces of continent assembled back together to create the supercontinent of Pannotia. South China collided with North China and Eastern Gondwana (mainly Australia).
